Article Abstract
Background: Transitional care is an integrated service to ensure coordination and continuity of patients' healthcare. Many models are being developed and implemented for this care. This study aims to identify the facilitators and obstacles of project performance through the experiences of the coordinator in charge of the Community Linkage Program for Discharge Patients (CLDP), a representative transitional care program in Korea.
Method: Forty-one coordinators (nurses and social workers) from 21 hospitals were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire, and thematic analysis was performed.
Result: Three themes were found as factors that facilitate or hinder CLDP: Formation and maintenance of cooperative relationships; Communication and information sharing system for patient care; and interaction among program, regional, and individual capabilities. These themes were similar regardless of the size of the hospitals.
Conclusion: A well-implemented transitional care model requires a program to prevent duplication and form a cooperative relationship, common computing platform to share patient information between institutions, and institutional assistance to set long-term directions focused on patient needs and support coordinators' capabilities.

Background: Delayed discharge among older patients presents a major challenge for the efficiency of health service delivery. Prolonged hospitalizations limit bed turnover, increase costs, and reduce the availability of hospital resources. In Japan, older adults must undergo a formal care needs certification process to access public long-term care (LTC) services.

Background: COVID-19 is still a significant health concern worldwide. B cell responses to COVID-19 have been extensively studied in acute severe disease, but less so during extended follow-up or mild disease. Persisting immunological changes together with herpesvirus reactivations during acute COVID-19 have been suggested as contributing factors for post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC).

Background: Although home births have been largely discontinued in contemporary China, traditional birth attendants (TBAs) historically played a pivotal role in enhancing maternal and child health, particularly in rural areas.
Aim: This study explored the transformation of TBAs in China from the 1950s to the 1970s, focusing on their gradual shift from traditional to modern midwifery practices. By drawing on oral histories from TBAs, the research seeks to enrich the historical understanding of midwifery development in China.
